Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention displays, for example, an address written on a postal item, and inputs signals from a plurality of postal input units for inputting a postal code in accordance with the display. The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing device such as a mail sorting device that prints barcodes on mailpieces and performs sorting processing using the printed barcodes.

[Technical background of the invention]

A conventional mail sorting device (paper sheet processing device) equipped with a punch input section is shown in FIG. That is, postcards, envelopes, etc., which are set in a three-dimensional state such as being fed all at once into the supply section 1 (paper leaves) group A, are fed to the take-out section 2 from the frontmost mail A. The mail/package A is taken out one by one and conveyed one by one, and the address etc. on the mail/package A is photoelectrically converted by the scanning section 4 disposed in the middle of the take-in conveyance path 3. This photoelectrically converted signal is converted into putter data for each screen, and is supplied to the hitting input sections 51 to 5n by a distribution circuit section (not shown). This punch input section 51... displays image information according to the supplied pattern data on the display 6, and the operator inputs specific information, that is, the postal code, in the displayed image information by typing with a keypad door. It is something to do.

On the receiving conveyance path 3 ahead of the scanning section 4, there is a printing section 8 that prints a bar code corresponding to the stamp input inputted at the stamp input section 51 on the mail A to be conveyed. It is provided. A reading section 9 consisting of a photoelectric conversion section is provided on the receiving conveyance path 3 ahead of the printing section 8 and reads the barcode on the mail being conveyed.

Next, the mail A is transported to a divided transport path 10a+10b+ which is provided in multiple stages in the vertical direction by a dart mechanism (not shown).
It is designed to be selectively distributed to lOc and JOd based on the above reading results.

Below the divided conveyance path 10a+10bH10cH10d, there are a plurality of pockets along the lower surface side.
. It has become so.

FIG. 2 shows the main parts of the electric circuit.

That is, the electrical signal from the scanning section 4 is quantized by the quantization section 2. The signals quantized by the quantizer 2 are sequentially supplied to the main turn memory 22. When one screen worth of signals is supplied to the pattern memory 22, the one screen worth of A' turn signals are distributed by the distribution circuit section 23 and output to any of the input input sections 51 to 5n. This supplied pattern signal is displayed on the display section 6.
It is now displayed as . The quantization unit 21 +
Pattern memory 22. and the distribution circuit section 23 is the control section 2
It is controlled by 4.

[Problems with background technology]

However, in such a device, there is a procedure for inputting one screen worth of pattern data from the scanning section into the pattern memory, and when distributing the pattern data to each punch input section, and also reading four turn data from the pattern memory. Two methods are necessary: to get it out. For this reason, while the pattern memory's f-turn data is being supplied to one of the pattern input sections, the pattern data cannot be supplied to the other pattern input section. There was a problem in that it was not possible to simultaneously output data to the input section of the keyboard.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to increase the distribution speed of pattern data to a plurality of punch input units, improve processing efficiency, and produce efficient paper sheets. The purpose of this invention is to provide a processing device.

[Summary of the invention]

In the present invention, a plurality of storage means are provided for each dotting input section, and when a pattern request signal is output from the dotting input section, this dotting input section reads pattern data from the corresponding storage means. , the pattern data from the quantization section is stored in the corresponding storage means when a termination signal is output from the input section.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a main part of the electric circuit in the mail sorting device shown in FIG. 1. That is, the electric signal from the scanning section 4 is processed so as to be quantized by the quantization section 3. The signals quantized by this quantum input unit 3 are supplied to interfaces 321, . . . , 32n. The above-mentioned interfaces 321, . . . 32n are provided corresponding to the above-mentioned punch input sections 51 . . . 5n, respectively.

The interfaces 321, . . . , 32n transmit signals from the quantizer 3 to turn storage buffers 331, . The stored code or the corresponding input input section 51...

The CPU J 5 controls the entire system according to the control program in the program memory 36, and sends barcode data corresponding to the punching input data supplied from each interface 32□...32n to the pass line 34.
By supplying the information to the printing unit 8 via the interface 37, the printing unit 8 prints a barcode corresponding to the postal code on the postal item (paper sheet) A. The CPU 35 is connected to the interface 321.
By controlling the control signal generating section 38 according to the /4' turn request signal or end signal supplied from the interface 321...32n, the control signal generating section 38 outputs a control signal to each interface 321...32n. It's a thing. In addition, the above CPU 35
The order of distribution of the input units 51...5n is, for example, the order of input units 51...5n. When the control signal generating section 38 is supplied with a control signal in response to a pattern request from the CPU 35, it outputs a control signal to the interface 321...32n to which the pattern request was made.
